After being found guilty on a total of 25 charges against them, they were sentenced to prison on Tuesday.
The charges included murder, attempted murder, possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition, and housebreaking with the intention of robbing. Other counts bordered on theft, robbery, and malicious damage to property, The Citizen reports.
The trio were also convicted of contravening immigration laws for being in South Africa illegally.
The gang was among criminals who harassed Polokwane municipality villages under the appellation “Boko Haram.”
They attacked teachers at their residential house in Westenburg and stole laptops, television sets and phones on October 9, 2017, nine days after they robbed Magezi Football Club players of their phones, soccer kits, shoes and clothes.
